Our Next Camelot.

Below you will find a link to one of the finest speeches I have ever read. It only saddens me that much of our nation will never read or hear this profoundly wise gift. It is said some 200,000 people is Germany cared to hear it, yet it is doubtful many Americans will take the time to listen. Such a sad state we are in. The following link is a transcript of Sen. Barack Obama's evening speech in front of the Tiergarten's 226-foot high Victory Column in Berlin, Germany on July 24, 2008 during his first European trip as a U.S. presidential candidate. http://abcnews.go.com/print?id=5442292 Here is the actual video of the speech. Youtube is the greatest. http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/berlinvideo/

Last Oil Report

Well this will be my last oil report, as I think everyone has finally seen what was really happening. I will put up a few items from yesterday that pretty much proves my case once and for all. Please read on. By ADAM SCHRECK, AP Business Writer Tue Jul 22, 5:03 PM ET NEW YORK - Oil prices tumbled more than $3 a barrel Tuesday as Tropical Storm Dolly grew increasingly unlikely to threaten supply, giving traders one less reason to buy as a strengthening dollar helped keep prices in check..... The drop offered further evidence that investors who only a week and a half ago drove prices to a new high above $147 a barrel are now quickly pulling money out of the market. It was also a reminder that, with traders for the moment turning bearish, the absence of major news can push the market down — just as incremental supply concerns previously drove prices sharply higher.

Want to be rich?

Well for those who remember my predictions about the current housing problem, listen up I am going to make us all wealthy. Do the research into this article and invest everything you can. Just remember if a person invested $10,000 in Microsoft in 1983, by 1995 they were millionaires many times over. Also remember this: Make fast money, loose money fast. http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/07/21/pickens.interview/index.html I have read up on Pickens, he is the real deal.

My sweet daughters.

Well my daughters have now done something I only dreamed of doing....they have maintained the honor roll so far all of their lives. My oldest daughter Kristin is going into the 10th grade. Holy F&$K!!!! My middle daughter Brandi is going into the 8th grade. My baby Erin is now a first grader. Erin had what can only be described as four perfect report cards for the year. Brandi made all As for the entire year, while Kristin maintained A B honor roll for the entire year. I could not be more proud of them, so for that they earned a blog. They may not know this (Until now) but they are the reason I try so hard to keep As and Bs in my education. After all, how could I push them if I were not doing my best also. I have always asked that they simply do their best and ask for help if needed. And as long as they tell me they have tried their best, whatever grade was good enough for me. So thank you my sweet girls, the world will be yours.
